You’re probably reading the title and thinking, “huh?!”  Well as you may know, I’ve recently changed my blog in a number of ways – most notably the domain name.  I’ve received much praise for doing so, however it’s not all strawberries and cream.  Of course one of the most important things to any blogger is having traffic, and traffic comes from search engines and super dooper amounts of backlinks!  So what has this new domain [...]

It’s that time of the week again, where I present my top followers, top posts and random twitter tip!  As with each week, this week will also be slightly different.  For this week, and this week only, I’ve got two lists of people worth following.  The first – those who are regularly posting great stuff that I recommend (as per normal), and those who I’m networking particularly closely with.  So without further ado *drum roll*
